Abstract：
:Human listeners are able to recognize accurately an impressive range of complex sounds, such as musical instruments or voices. The underlying mechanisms are still poorly understood. Here, we aimed to characterize the processing time needed to recognize a natural sound. To do so, by analogy with the "rapid visual sequential presentation paradigm", we embedded short target sounds within rapid sequences of distractor sounds. The core hypothesis is that any correct report of the target implies that sufficient processing for recognition had been completed before the time of occurrence of the subsequent distractor sound. We conducted four behavioral experiments using short natural sounds (voices and instruments) as targets or distractors. We report the effects on performance, as measured by the fastest presentation rate for recognition, of sound duration, number of sounds in a sequence, the relative pitch between target and distractors and target position in the sequence. Results showed a very rapid auditory recognition of natural sounds in all cases. Targets could be recognized at rates up to 30 sounds per second. In addition, the best performance was observed for voices in sequences of instruments. These results give new insights about the remarkable efficiency of timbre processing in humans, using an original behavioral paradigm to provide strong constraints on future neural models of sound recognition.
